Zhou Yu waved his hand and said:

"Okay, okay, you don't have to comfort me."

"Then what Liu Bei wants to do, I can make my own judgment."

"How about Cao Jun?"

Hearing this, Huang Gai cupped his fists and said:

"Reporting to the governor, Cao Cao seems to be building a warship, and there is no other action."

Zhou Yu could not help but sneer:

"Have you stopped training sailors in just half a month?"

"It seems that Cao Cao is quite confident in this battle."

"He really underestimated me, Jiangdong Jianer!"

"A group of landlubbers from the north don't know how to swim at all. After only half a month of training, they want to invade my Jiangdong territory!"

"Cao Cao is very arrogant!"

"We must make him pay a bloody price for his arrogance!"

A gleam flashed in Huang Gai's eyes, and he said with a smile:

"Could it be that the governor already has a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, but did not answer.

A strategy to retreat from the enemy?

As early as half a month ago, when I knew that Cao Cao was going to attack Jiangdong, I had already thought about it.

It's just that, now that the battle is imminent, even in front of his most trusted generals, he can't tell it.

Use fire!

Although Zhou Yu didn't like the water quality of Cao Cao's soldiers at all.

But from an objective point of view, the number of Cao Cao's army is still far from crushing his side.

Zhou Yu is naturally very clear about this.

If there is a war of attrition, Jiangdong will definitely not be able to beat Cao Cao.

After all, Cao Cao still has the entire north as a backup.

Whether it's money, food, or military strength, Jiangdong is too far behind.

Even with the addition of Liu Beijun, it is far from enough.

What's more, Liu Beijun has not responded yet.

Therefore, Zhou Yu thought of a clever way.

The best way is to use fire.

Since ancient times, there are two kinds of strange strategies that are most famous.

One is fire attack and the other is water attack.

Although it is on the river, water attack is impossible.

If there is a way to control the turbulent Yangtze River, then Cao Jun can't fight at all.

The only possibility is fire attack.

After all, warships are made of wood, and the benefits of burning them are very considerable.

As for the method of igniting, there are many ways, for example, you can directly use a small boat to load sulfur and smoke, and then you can directly rush to the big boat with a suicide attack.

Once this kind of fire is lit, it is difficult to put it out.

The best sailors available to man the boat are fully capable of returning to shore unharmed after jumping overboard.

but……

One thing is missing!

Cao Jun has so many ships, it is obviously impossible to burn them all at once.

And once the war started, Zhou Yu knew very well that he didn't have much time to prepare.

Once Cao Cao's army is let go, it will be really dangerous.

The advantages of the Soochow Navy lie on the river.

As long as Cao Jun goes ashore, Jiangdong has no chance of winning at all.

The only way is to find a way to burn all Cao's ships before they land.

These Cao troops are not fools either. How could they let the boats come when they saw the boats rushing towards them with fire?

Will definitely choose to avoid and shoot arrows.

In this case, there is no guarantee that every small boat can touch Cao Jun's big boat.

This problem has troubled Zhou Yu for a long time, but he has not been able to find a way to defeat the enemy.

Seeing Zhou Yu's troubled expression, Huang Gai couldn't help but said:

"Captain, if there is any way, you can tell me as much as you can."

"Although we are a warrior, we have fought in the battlefield for many years."

"Gather together, so that we can come up with a better plan!"

Zhou Yu didn't pay much attention to Huang Gai, but just waved his hand to let them go out.

Huang Gai sighed helplessly.

Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others on the side patted Huang Gai on the shoulder, signaling to go out together.

After leaving the tent, Huang Gai said helplessly:

"The governor is too..."

"Oh, why does he always refuse to listen to other people's advice."

"Facing an enemy as strong as Cao Cao this time, no matter how strategic the governor is, he cannot rely on strategy to win."

"If he continues to go his own way like this, something will happen sooner or later!"

Cheng Pu glanced at Huang Gai, and said helplessly:

"Forget it, don't say any more."

"Perhaps we really can't help the governor, and the governor may also have difficulties."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Pu himself didn't really believe this set of rhetoric.

To be honest, everyone present thought that Zhou Yu was a little too big this time.

Thinking of this, these Jiangdong veterans all sighed.

But helpless.

Who is Zhou Yu?

Even if it was what Sun Quan said, he would dare not listen to half of the people, let alone how many people are himself?

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Don't panic, I can help with this matter."

Chapter 64 The long-awaited opportunity is here

In Zhou Yu's camp.

The lights flickered, and the entire camp was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

Zhou Yu thought hard about a way to break the situation, but he couldn't find a suitable method for a long time.

Unless, Cao Cao can cooperate with himself.

But how is this possible?

At this moment, the curtain of the camp tent was slowly lifted.

A short figure appeared in front of Zhou Yu.

Through the candlelight, Zhou Yu vaguely saw the man's attire, but couldn't see his face clearly.

This person is dressed in an embroidered robe, and just by looking at it, one can see that this person is vaguely revealing a bit of uninhibitedness.

"Don't worry, Gongjin, maybe I can help you."

The visitor spoke slowly.

The voice was not loud and slightly hoarse, but it shocked Zhou Yu.

"Shi Yuan?"

Zhou Yu couldn't help being surprised.

The person who came was Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan!

That is, the phoenix chick who is as famous as Crouching Dragon Zhuge Liang!

Crouching dragon and phoenix chick, both of them can be safe in the world, Sima Hui's words are deeply engraved in everyone's heart.

Although Zhou Yu thinks that Zhuge Liang's talent is a bit exaggerated.

But for Pang Tong, Zhou Yu was convinced.

Although Pang Tong's face is ugly, he looks ordinary.

However, his talent is indeed obvious to all.

Pang Tong's advice and suggestions were indispensable for Zhou Yu's battles on weekdays.

Although Zhou Yu is quite confident in his literary talent and military strategy, Pang Tong can always detect many subtle details.

Details determine success or failure, and sometimes it is because of these small details that Zhou Yu is always at a disadvantage.

"Shiyuan, aren't you in Yuzhang? Why did you come to Wudu?"

Zhou Yu said in surprise.

For some reason, Zhou Yu was quite relieved by Pang Tong's arrival.

Pang Tong smiled lightly and said:

"Gongjin is in trouble, how can I not come here to help Gongjin solve his problems?"

"Now Cao's army is facing the enemy, so what if I defend Yuzhang well?"

Zhou Yu laughed loudly and said:

"Excellent, excellent!"

"Shi Yuan, please sit down quickly!"

While pouring tea, Zhou Yu slowly revealed the point that he is now difficult to overcome.

Pang Tong smiled slightly:

"Please rest assured, Gong Jin, this matter is nothing to worry about."

"I'm determined to get this matter done properly!"

Hearing Pang Tong's words, Zhou Yu's frowning brows finally eased, and he said with a smile:

"With Shiyuan here, I have no worries!"

The two drank the tea in their cups in one gulp and talked happily.

……

At the same time, Jiang Xia.

"Military division, is it really okay for me to hold back and stay still?"

Liu Bei couldn't help but said worriedly:
